Donnell Joint School District No. 2 911 Meridian Road • Meridian, Idaho 83642 • (208) 855-4500 • Fax (208) 888-6700 February 26, 2004 City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Dear Planners: RECEIVED FFg 2 ? 2001 City of Meridian City Clerk Offiee The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval of Woodside Creek Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Chaparral Elementary, Meridian Middle, and Meridian Hi School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house five (5) elementary aged children, four (4) middle school aged children, and three (3) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it maybe necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701. Sincerely, Gil©~i~~.~~ Wendel Bigham Supervisor of Facilities and Construction
